Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Meta‐analysis reveals strong evidence for adaptive host and vector manipulation by plant viruses

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant viruses often enhance their own transmission by modifying host phenotypes and vector behaviour, leading to the hypothesis that such effects are manipulations due to virus adaptations.

Across the edge: Spatial segregation drives community structure in tri‐trophic multilayer networks at a forest–grassland edge

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how forest–grassland edges act as ecological barriers that shape tri‐trophic interaction networks. Using multilayer network theory, it uncovers how species influence and biodiversity patterns emerge across spatial layers, offering novel insights into edge‐driven community assembly and conservation in fire‐prone mosaics.
